As a former player, I understand all of the uncertainties that the girls are experiencing and as a former college coach, I understand what the parents are going through and what the college coaches want. The parents and players have too much invested in softball to blindly stumble through the recruiting process hoping to get lucky in getting recruited. With over a hundred years of experience in collegiate coaching and recruiting, American College Connection will give the players a huge advantage.
American College Connection: Softball With two Olympic gold medals to its credit, woman's fast pitch softball is growing rapidly. College softball programs are enjoying a strong following and serve as a valuable balance in the search for gender equity by college athletic departments.
Despite this rosy outlook there exists a great inequity in the recruiting budgets at many schools. Only the high profile schools with revenue generating football programs have enough money in their recruiting budgets to travel very far to evaluate the many deserving players who have college potential and college aspirations.
Consider These Facts:
(350,197*) - Number of high school softball players
(88,000) - Approximate number of graduating high school seniors every year
(2,000) - Approximate number of softball scholarships offered each year by Division I and II programs to incoming freshmen
